A mere 700m walk from Rondebosch Manor,
Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town is a South
African cricket ground. It's the home of the Cape Cobras,
who play in the SuperSport Series, MTN Domestic Championship
and Standard Bank Pro20 competitions. It is also a venues
for Test matches. Newlands is regarded as one of the most
beautiful cricket grounds in the world, being overlooked by
Table Mountain and Devil's Peak. It is close to Newlands
Stadium, which is a rugby union and football venue.

The ground hosted its first Test match in March 1889 when
England defeated South Africa by an innings and 202 runs. As
of June, 2006, there have been 40 Test matches played at the
ground of which South Africa has won 13, their opponents 19
and 8 which ended in a draw. The last team besides Australia
to beat South Africa there was New Zealand, in 1961.

The first One Day International played at the ground was in
December 1992 when South Africa beat India by 6 wickets. As
of June, 2006, there have been 28 One-day Internationals
played at the ground including five in the 2003 Cricket
World Cup. South Africa has won 19 of its games there, and
the opposition 3 (the West Indies being the most recent
opposition victor in 2002).

Over the past five years numerous changes have been made to
the ground. This has slightly taken away from its former
splendor. Large portions of the grass embankments have been
replaced by pavilions increasing the seating capacity to
25,000.

Newlands is one of the few cricket grounds in South Africa
that tends to favour spinners. Most grounds tend to favour
pacemen or batsmen, but the Western Cape has had a history
of having very good spinners, a recent example being Paul
Adams.

The ground has also hosted exhibition matches in Australian
rules football. In 1998, a crowd of 10,123 saw the Brisbane
Lions play Fremantle.

Located less than 1km away fromRondebosch Manor,
and a very easy walk, Newlands Rugby Stadium has
hosted 20 South African Test Matches since unification in
1992, with 14 out of the 20 matches going in favour of South
Africa. During the 1995 RWC, Newlands hosted two matches not
involving South Africa.

The first official matches were played at Newlands on
Saturday 31 May 1890 when Villager and Stellenbosch met in
such muddy conditions that the curtain-raiser between
Bishops and Hamiltons had to be cancelled. The records show
that the university side won by a goal to a try´ - the
goal´ was described by the legendary Fairy Heatlle as the
most remarkable dropped kick I have seen. The famous ground
was to see many more such unforgettable moments.

Newlands as we see it today was purchased, constructed,
demolished and finally re-developed at huge cost and
commitment over the past century entirely by the efforts of
dedicated members of the Western Province Rugby Football
Union and its administrators - to whom this magnificent
stadium is a fitting monument. And we must never forget
those faithful supporters, who have followed the fortunes of
their teams week in, week out in spite of often inclement
weather.

Newlands is a fitting testament to those men and women who
have supported and believed in not only the WPFRU but in the
game of Rugby Football. The stadium, and the ground the
stadium is built on, is owned by the WPRFU.

Featured in its history is the honour of hosting the opening
match of the 1995 Rugby World Cup, where host nation South
Africa upset the reigning world champions Australia 27-18,
in what would be the beginning of a fairytale story that saw
Springbok Captain Francois Pienaar lift the Webb Ellis
trophy at Ellis Park at the end of the tournament. Coach
Jake White and Captain John Smit returned to Newlands in
2007, in the final leg of the country-wide World Cup victory
parade following the Boks´ triumphant Rugby World Cup
tournament in France, to show off the Webb Ellis trophy to a
near capacity Newlands Faithful, who had pitched at the
ground to welcome the Boks back home.

In 2009 Newlands also hosted the British and Irish Lions in
two non-test matches, when the Northern Hemisphere giants
played Vodacom WP on 13 June and an Emerging Springbok
outfit on 23 June. Both matches were well supported by both
local and international fans, despite a typical wet and
wintery Cape climate. The British and Irish Lions claimed
victory a tightly contested match against the Blue and White
Hoops of WP (23-26). A massive effort by the Emerging
Springboks in the final quarter and a decisive conversion
from the touchline in the 80th minute by Province´s Willem
de Waal drew the scorers equal at 13-all in the stormy
mid-week match.

Newlands has taken on various names over the years as the
Western Province Rugby side took on different sponsors, such
as Norwich and Fedsure, but today the name stands proudly
alone thanks to the discretion of their previous two
sponsors, Investec and Vodacom.

"We elected to change the name of the stadium to reflect its
popular name rather than calling it Investec Newlands",
Raymond van Niekerk, global head of group marketing at
Investec said shortly after announcing the sponsorship.

"We've tried to adopt a unique approach to stadium naming
and branding, " Van Niekerk said. "While the rich history,
heritage and tradition of Newlands is retained, the
commercial value inherent in the modern trend of selling
stadium naming rights is preserved through the use of the
Investec logo and typeface."

Rob Wagner, MD of WP Rugby commented: "Stadium naming rights
sales have become lucrative and important elements of any
sporting body's income streams. We are very happy with the
way both Investec and Vodacom have opted to utilise their
naming rights."

Newlands, home of Province and Stormers Rugby, has become
world renowned for being the most supported teams in the
modern game, regardless of log position - with its
spectators now commonly known as “The Newlands Faithful”. In
2002, Newlands welcomed its millionth spectator, to watch a
Stormers match, through the gates, with more than 2 million
fans having come out to support the popular Super Rugby
franchise over the past 12 years. In both 2008 and 2009,
Newlands recorded a total annual attendance of more than 500
000 spectators, with an average of 17 rugby fixtures a year.

of the University of Cape Town, which is nestled beneath the slopes of

Groote Schuur estate located in Rondebosch includes both presidential and ministerial
residences and have Cape Dutch origins.

The centre of Rondebosch is the Main Road, with the Victorian cast iron Rondebosch Fountain being a historic landmark. The area is currently being
revitalised as 'Rondebosch Village'. Historic buildings in the area
include the library (formerly the town hall) and St Paul's Church which
was designed by Charles Michell.
The home of Simon van der Stel, first governor of the Cape Colony, is
now part of Rustenburg Junior School. This building dates back to the
17th century, although it has undergone many alterations over the years.
Its summer house, dating from 1760, remains as a monument just below
the university. Rondebosch Common, once a military camp ground, is declared a national monument
and is also an important fynbos conservation area.
The Baxter Theatre in Rondebosch is Cape Town's second biggest theatre
complex, after the Artscape Theatre Centre in the city centre.
